2013 Corvette Convertible

The Sky's Not The Limit

For a whole new driving experience, opt for the 2013 Corvette Convertible! The sense of freedom is exhilarating, and the performance is pure ‘Vette! The Corvette Convertible is available with either a standard manual top or a power top that takes only eighteen seconds to close at the push of a button. And even when the top is down, there’s still room in the trunk for two golf bags!

Whether the top is up or down, one thing will always be true: this is the best view on the road.

For 2013, Chevrolet celebrates sixty years of Corvette innovation with the 60th Anniversary Appearance Package, available on all 2013 Corvette Convertible models. The package includes an Arctic While exterior with Blue Diamond leather-wrapped interior, an optional graphics package with full-length racing stripes in Pearl Silver Blue, gray-painted brake calipers, ZR1 rear spoiler and special 60th Anniversary badging on the steering wheel, seat head restraints and wheel center caps. It's without a doubt the sweetest looking convertible on the road.

When it comes to Corvette, heritage is much more than a word…it’s a way of life. That’s why the 2013 Corvette Convertible incorporates exterior design elements that have been hallmarks of the nameplate since its introduction, including its classic rounded fenders, sleek profile and lean, grounded body frame.

Drop the top on your 2013 Corvette Convertible, and its timeless design cues are accented even further. A manual top is standard, or you can opt for the power top that lets you “raise the roof” in only 18 seconds…without leaving the driver’s seat. And there’s still plenty of trunk space even with the top down.

Upgrades to the interior of the 2013 Corvette Convertible contribute to comfort and driver confidence in equal measure. The seat bolsters are larger for increased support, and optional microfiber seat inserts add comfort galore.

Refinements to the steering wheel design provide better hand placement for increased control, and added padding on the center console and armrests ups the comfort factor even more. There is also a Custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package available on the 4LT trim level that features contrasting color stitching for additional eye appeal.

Throw the top back from the comfort of your seat and rule the road. The best part about the interior of the Corvette Convertible is that with the available power top, you never have to leave its comfort.

The 250,000th Corvette ever built was a convertible model. It was a gold Corvette Convertible that rolled off the production line in St. Louis on November 19, 1969.

Corvette’s Magnetic Selective Ride Control automatically and instantaneously increases and decreases the stiffness of the shocks in response to changing conditions, keeping the driver confidently in touch with the road. MSRC has two modes…Tour and Sport…to suit the driver’s preference and various driving conditions.

For drivers who compete in club-sanctioned closed-course track events, the 2013 Corvette Convertible equipped with the six-speed manual transmission features Launch Control. By modulating engine rpm in competitive mode, Launch Control provides smooth power transfer and consistent acceleration.

Corvette turns sixty for 2013, but make no mistake…it’s staying on top of the times! The 2013 Corvette Convertible’s Technology Package, standard on the 2LT trim and up, highlights popular features like navigation radio, head-up display, Bose premium audio, Sirius/XM Satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless technology and USB connectivity.

Innovative Head-Up Display technology projects vital information onto the windshield into the driver’s line of sight, providing speed, navigation directions, compass direction and even g-force data to the driver so eyes can stay on the road.

Exterior technology advances include rust-free composite body panels that are lighter and stronger than conventional materials. This makes the 2013 Corvette Convertible a timeless masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

Bluetooth

Navigation System

OnStar

With all that intense action on the road, you'll definately wanna make sure those in-car phone calls are hands-free. Available Bluetooth wireless calling means you can stay focussed on pushing your Vette to the max while answering phone calls with a tap of the steering wheel.

Available with some Bose sound systems is touch-screen navigation - the ultimate touch of luxury that you've come to expect from the sports car leader. With power under the hood and navigation within your reach, you'll never look at muscle cars the same way again.

The most advanced in-vehicle assistance technology ever conceived is inside every Corvette Coupe. Best of all, you get a free six-month subscription of the Directions & Connections Plan.

Nothing beats prevention when it comes to safety. With this in mind, Chevrolet engineers incorporate features into the 2013 Corvette Convertible like Active Handling and four-wheel antilock brakes, but that’s just the beginning. Standard xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights project 900 lumens of light for superior visibility, and run-flat tires can operate safely for some distance at moderate speed, so you can continue on your way until the tire can be repaired.

In case of a collision, front and side-impact airbags help protect Corvette’s occupants, and OnStar with Directions & Connections and Automatic Crash Response will alert an OnStar advisor automatically, so emergency services can be dispatched to your exact GPS location. These OnStar features are included as “standard equipment” on the 2013 Corvette Convertible for the first six months of ownership.

The Head-Up Display projects onto the front windshield, keeping the driver informed of speed, direction, turn-by-turn navigation directions and even g-force…while both eyes stay on the road.
